* Creator/MarieCorelli lived and wrote before Theosophy was founded, and some of her ideas seem to have been incorporated into it, especially in ''Literature/ARomanceOfTwoWorlds'', which has long been mistaken for an autobiographical work.

* By far the most famous New Age musicians are Music/KateBush, Kitaro and Music/{{Enya}}. Artists like Music/BrianEno (''Music/Ambient1MusicForAirports'', ''Music/ApolloAtmospheresAndSoundtracks''), Music/MikeOldfield (''Music/TubularBells''), Music/WendyCarlos, Music/JeanMichelJarre (''Music/{{Oxygene}}''), Music/{{Cluster}}, Music/MichaelNyman, Klaus Schulze, Music/PopolVuh, Music/DavidSylvian, Music/TangerineDream, Isao Tomita, Music/{{Vangelis}} and Gheorghe Zamfir have also made music that has been adapted for this purpose. It must be said, though, that not all of these musicians wish to be pigeonholed as solely making music for New Age believers.
